Objective To discuss the clinical features and coronary artery lesions in middle-aged and young patients of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus. Methods The clinical data of 386 middle-aged and young patients (aged from 28 to 59 years) of coronary heart disease were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 176 cases were complicated with diabetes mellitus (diabetes group) and 210 cases didn′t have diabetes mellitus (non diabetes group). The general information, echocardiography and coronary angiography results between 2 groups were compared. Results The female ratio, incidences of hypertension and body mass index (BMI) in diabetes group were significantly higher than those in non diabetes group:28.4%(50/176) vs. 6.7%(14/210), 63.6%(112/176) vs. 43.8%(92/210) and (26.5 ± 2.5) kg/m2 vs. (23.8 ± 1.7) kg/m2, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in the age and the incidences of smoking history, family history of coronary heart disease and heart failure between 2 groups (P>0.05). The total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) in diabetes group were significantly higher than those in non diabetes group:(4.96 ± 1.32) mmol/L vs. (4.67 ± 1.12) mmol/L and (2.77 ± 2.01) mmol/L vs. (2.09 ± 1.60) mmol/L, the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly lower than that in non diabetes group:(0.92 ± 0.30) mmol/L vs. (1.10 ± 0.32) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). There were statistical differences in the hemoglobin, platelet, total bilirubin, brain natriuretic peptide, fibrinogen (FIB) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between 2 groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the left atrial diameter, right ventricular diameter, left ventricular end diastolic diameter, ejection fraction, aortic root inside diameter and incidence of weakened ventricular wall motion between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of 3 branch coronary artery lesions in diabetes group was significantly higher than that in non diabetes group:59.1%(104/176) vs. 37.6%(79/210), and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). The incidences of left main artery, circumflex artery trunk, diffuse vascular lesion and Gensini score in diabetes group were significantly higher than those in non diabetes group: 15.9% (28/176) vs. 6.2% (13/210), 79.5% (140/176) vs. 53.8% (113/210), 46.5%(82/176) vs. 23.8%(50/210) and (58.6 ± 17.9) scores vs. (49.5 ± 14.6) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in incidences of anterior descending artery and right coronary artery between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions In middle-aged and young patients of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus, the female ratio is higher and hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia is more common. The lesions of coronary artery are more serious and diffuse. Three branch coronary artery lesions are the main ones, and the left main branch and the circumflex branch lesion is common.

Objective To explore the role of non-receptor tyrosine kinase(c-Src)in sevoflurane pretreatment for relieving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods By using the random number table,the healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=10):sham operation group (Ⅰ),ischemia-reperfusion group(Ⅱ),sevoflurane pretreatment group(Ⅲ), sevoflurane pretreatment plus dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO,Ⅳ)and sevoflurane pretreatment plus c-Src specific inhibitor SU6656 group(Ⅴ)groups.The group Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ were performed the sevoflurane aftertreatment before reperfusion;the group Ⅴ was in-jected by SU6656 at 5 min before reperfusion;the group Ⅳ was given the equal volume DMSO.The arterial blood sample in each group was collected at 120 min after reperfusion for detecting serum LDH level and CK-MB activity.Rats were killed for taking the heart and separating the left ventricle to calculate the area of myocardial infarctio;the expression levels of Src,phosphorylated Src (p-Src),CAT and SOD in myocardial tissue were detected in each group.Results Compared with the groupⅠ,the level of serum CK-MB and LDH activity,myocardial infarct area and p-Src/Src,CAT,SOD in the other 4 groups were increased significantly (P <0.05);comparing with the group Ⅲ,the serum CK-MB and LDH activity,myocardial infarct area and SOD,CAT,in the group Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ were increased,however the level of p-Src/Src was decreased significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion The c-Src-reactive ox-ygen signaling pathway might mediate the role of sevoflurane pretreatment for reducing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat.

Objective To investigate the depression and its influential factors in the elderly with hypertension in communities,so as to provide the theoretical evidence for practicing intervention for community health workers.Methods According to uniform inclusion and exclusion criteria,350 elderly people aged 60 years and over in Changxing Community and Town God's Temple Community in Changzhi city included hypertensive patients and healthy persons who were extracted by stratified random sampling method.The face-to-face survey method was taken,and the questionnaire included general information and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS).All data were through statistical analysis by SPSS 13.0.Results The incidence of depression was higher in elderly hypertensive patients (scores:11.70±6.67,56.4%) than in normal elderly persons [scores:(6.49+5.97,21.3)%,t=-7.314,x2=41.489,P<0.01].The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed the influencing factors of depression were subjective symptoms,complicating disease,knowledge of hypertension,co-living family and economic burden.Conclusions The incidence of depression is higher in elderly hypertensive patients than in normal elderly people.If community health workers do something to intervene the influencing factors of the depression in elderly hypertensive patients,the incidence may be reduced.

Objective To elucidate the related risk factors for the cardiorenal syndrome(CRS),and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of CRS. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 269 patients with chronic heart failure. The subjects were divided into two groups in accordance with estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR):patient group(CRS group),eGRF<60 mL/(min ! 1.73 m2)and control group,eGRF≥60 mL/(min!1.73 m2). The patients'general information as well as the related clinical lab indices and accessory examination indi-ces were collected. The risk factors for chronic heart failure and renal insufficiency were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis. Re?sults The prevalence of chronic heart failure patients suffering from CRS was 26.39%. The single factor analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age,body weight,history of hypertension,and history of diabetes(all P<0.05). Compared to the control group,uric acid,cystatin C,serum urea nitrogen,brain natriuretic peptide,glycosylated hemoglobin,high-sensitivity C-reactive pro-tein,and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter in the CRS group were significantly higher;white blood cell count,hemoglobin,albumin,and left ventricular ejection fraction were significantly lower(all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)between the two groups in regard to white blood cell count,glutamic-pyruvic transaminase,glutamic oxalacetic transaminase,cholesterol,triglycerides,high density lipoprotein,low density lipoprotein,troponin I,serum free triiodothyronine,serum free thyroxine,or thyroid stimulating hormone. Multivariate logis-tic regression analysis showed that older age,low body weight,history of hypertension,history of diabetes,hypoalbuminemia,superb sensitivity C-re-active protein levels,high uric acid,high cystatin C hyperlipidemia,and low ejection fraction were independently associated with the occurrence of CRS. Conclusion Older age,low body weight,history of hypertension,history of diabetes,hypoalbuminemia,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels,high uric acid,high cystatin C hyperlipidemia,and low ejection fraction are the high risk factors for CRS in heart failure patients and are inde-pendently associated with the occurrence of CRS. Early identification and control of these risk factors are important for the prevention and treatment of CRS.

Objective To construct and identify the recombinant retroviral vectors expressing siRNA for MDR1 gene knock-down,sequentially to detect the reversing effect of RNAi on the multidrug resistant phenotype in MCF-7/ADR cells. Methods The target sequences of siRNAs for MDR1 knock-down were designed by IDTdna online. The DNA sequences containing a palindrome structure were synthesized and annealed to form double-stands which were inserted into linear pSUPER vectors later. The recombinant vectors were identified by agarose gel electrophoresis after cleaving of double enzymes and by sequencing,then were transfected into 293T packaging cells which produced retroviral particles in supernatant,the retrovirus soup was used to infect MCF-7/ADR cells. The expression level of MDR1 was detected from both mRNA level and protein level by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. Results The recombinant pSUPER vectors expressing siRNA were confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis after cleaving of double enzymes and by sequence analysis. The inserted oligonucleatide sequences were identical to the original sequences and in corresponding position. Compared with control group,the inhibitory effects of pSUPER.retro-MDR1 and pSUPER.retro-MDR2 were significant. Conclusion pSUPER recombinant retroviral vectors expressing siRNA for MDR1 knock-down is construted successfully,and it has inhibitory effect on the expression of MDR1 gene in MCF-7/ADR cells.

Objective To study the occurrence of asymptomatic coronary artery endothelial lesions,and its relationship with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods From June 2003 to September 2004,120 patients with old myocardial infarction(OMI)and stable angina pectoris(SAP)were enrolled in this study.The angioscopy of non-culprit vessels was successfully performed to detect the endothelial lesions including yellow plaque,plaque rupture and/or thrombosis.Meanwhile,the relationships between coronary artery endothelial lesions and hypertension,diabetes mellitus(DM)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were examined.Results Detailed angioscopic findings were obtained in 80 of the 120 patients(66.67%)(in 155 non-culprit vessels).These lesions demonstrated a significantly higher occurrence in patients with hypertension,in patients with high level of LDL-C and in patients with DM than in patients without endothelial lesions(P

Objective To explore the prevention of asymptomatic coronary intimal lesion by controlling the risk factors of coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods The relationship between the intimal lesion(such as yellow plaque、plaque rupture and/or thrombus formation)and risk factors(such as hypertension、diabetes、high blood LDL-C、blood pressure and blood sugar in patients with high blood LDL-C)was investigated in the non-culprit vessels of 120 patients with old myocardial infarction and stable angina pectoris by applying coronary angioscopy.Results Totally 155 non-culprit vessels in 120 patients were explored and the following findings were observed:(1) There are 80 cases(66.67%)of intimal lesion,40 cases(33.33%)without intimal lesion.(2)In the group with intimal lesion,the simple yellow plaque was observed in 30 cases(25.00%)and complex plaque in 50 cases.(3) In 120 patients,hypertension was observed in 69 cases(57.50%),high blood LDL-C in 79 cases(65.83%)and type 2 diabetes in 40 cases(33.33%).(4)The complex plaques was less common in patients whose BP was less than 140/90 mm Hg than in patients more than 140/90 mm Hg(P0.05).Conclusion The plaque rupture can be well prevented which can reduce the incidence of ACS if the high blood pressure、high blood sugar、high LDL-C are controlled to an ideal level.

Objective To investigate the effects of repeated computed tomography (CT) scan on hematological and immunological index in mice,and to explore the related mechanism.Methods A total of 60 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six groups as control,once,twice,4,6 and 8 times of CT scans,and administered with whole-body scan by 64-slice spiral CT with the pelvis scan mode.Thermoluminescence dosimeter was used to detect the absorbed doses of CT scan,while DNA damage (γ-H2AX),apoptosis,autophagy,cell cycle and percentages of CD4/CD8 in peripheral lymphocytes and bone marrow cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.γ-H2AX was detected 1 h after the last CT scan,and the other indexes were detected 24 h after the last CT scan.Results γ-H2AX increased after more than twice CT scans in peripheral lymphocytes and after than 4 times of CT scan in bone marrow cells (P ＜ 0.05).Apoptosis increased in peripheral blood lymphocytes and decreased in bone marrow cells after more than 4 times of CT scan (P ＜ 0.05),suggesting that lymphocytes were more sensitive while different cell subpopulation in bone marrow showed different sensitivity and response phase.No obvious changes of autophagy level were observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes,while autophagy increased in bone marrow cells after single CT scan (F =81.10,P ＜ 0.05).8 times of CT scan significantly increased the percentages of cells at G0/G1 phase and G2/M phase(x2 =11.29,28.57,P ＜0.05).The percentage of CD4 + T,CD8 + T cells decreased after CT scan,but no effects on the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 +.Conclusions Repeated CT scans could induce injury effects on hematopoietic system and immune system,and then the apoptosis.Apoptosis,autophagy and cell cycle arrest might be initiated to maintain genome stability but there is no influence on immune balance.

The sera of 206 cases with hydatid disease diagnosed by B-ultrasound and X-ray in survey scene had been examined by Dot-ELISA and IHA with Qinghai cystic hydatid antigen, ELISA With Xingjiang cystic hydatid antigen and Em18-EliB with alveolar hydatid antigen. The results showed that the sero-positive rates were 90. 37％ and 91.98％ in these cases with cystic hydatid disease by Dot EliSA and IHA with Qinghai cystic hydatid antigen respectively. The sero-positive rate was 75. 94％ in same cases by ELISA with Xingjiang cystic hydatid antigen. The sero-positive rateswere 77.27％ 81. 82％ and 65. 91 ％ in those cases with the whole calcific cystic hydatid disease by above three methods respectively, and the sero-positive rates were lower in whole calcific cystic hydatid than that in other cystic hydatid disease. The sero-negative cases belonged to cystic hydatid disease which located in lungs of livers alone. The results by EM18-ELIB with alveolar hydatid antigen showed that the sero-positive rates were 73. 68％ and 5. 88％ in those cases with alveolar hydatid disease and with cystic hydatid disease diagnosed by B-ultrasound and X-ray respectively,and the sero-positive rate was 15.91 ％ in whole calcific cystic hydatid disease. The ratio of the number of positive seras to that of negative seras was 1 to 7 approximately. The value and mean of different serological methods in diagnosis and judge diagnosis for cystic and alveolar hydatid disease had been discussed.
